Mini kanna
Japanese inspired mini hand plane
I have a good friend Flemming, he keeps bringing me little tool presents, so I decided it was time to make him a small token of appreciation.
Flemming is an artist and like me he has a soft spot for tools, but as I knew he had no Japanese planes, I thought it would be a good place to go.
The blade is a old French plane iron I cut to length.
The body ash.
Krenov method but with the blade placed in the back end as a Japanese kanna.
It makes some really fine shaves and Flemming seemed to be happy for this little token of our friendship.
Pictures:
1. The plane with some shaves.
2. On top of Japan…
3. Size does matter.
4. Sole.
5. Blade and wedge.
6. The plane.
Here a few of the gifts from Flemming that I can use some help to figure out.
Look at that wonderful burnisher.
(the wine was from my neighbor).
First there were this little brass plate, I was thinking it could be to put on the square, but it's only a guess.
And then this? Any ideas?
Hope this can inspire others to make their own tools.
Best thoughts,
